Craving Grace Hb

Full Product Description

For Lisa Velthouses whole life, Christianity had been about getting things right.
Obeying her parents. Not drinking. Not cursing. Not having premarital sex. Vowing to save her first kiss until she got engaged, even writing a book called . . . well, Saving My First Kiss. (This, it turns out, does not actually help a girl get a date.)

But after two decades of trying to earn Gods okay, she found her faith was lonely, empty, and unsatisfying. So where does a good Christian girl turn when she needs answers? More discipline, of course: fasting! By giving up her favorite foodssweetsLisa hoped to somehow discover true sweetness and meaning in her relationship with God.

For months Lisa managed to fast, but the only result seemed to be that suddenly she was falling short in everything else. Then, one night at a wedding, she denied herself the cake but broke an even bigger promise shed made years beforefailing in such an unexpected and world-rocking way that it challenged everything she thought she knew about God and herself.

Craving Grace is the true story of a faith dramatically changed: how in one womans life God used the sweetness of honey to break through stale religious practices and hollow goodness, revealing the stunning wonder that is Gods grace.

Craving Grace Hb by Lisa Velthouse was published by Tyndale House Publishers in May 2011. The ISBN for Craving Grace Hb is 9781414335773.

Reviews of Craving Grace Hb

Craving Grace (A Memoir)

Making a vow to God about saving your first kiss until you are engaged and writing a book about it for the world to read is never going to be easy. Lisa Velthouse at the age of nineteen made this promise, and wrote the book. She expected and hoped that God would hurry her beloved’s arrival but several years later she found herself still waiting. Then came the night of the Wedding - that is someone else’s big day - and Lisa breaks her vow - cheaply.

Through Craving Grace Lisa shares her story with drama and humour. She writes of the disciplines, fasting from sweets, ambition, and the determination to live her faith. The sheer joy she expresses is tangible as she reflects and realizes that God’s grace really is sweeter than honey.
